Black Friday celebration or observation in South Africa dates back to as early as 2011, with Takealot being one of the first retailers to launch the Black Friday Sale by adopting a popular international retail promotional event in order to boost sales. Black Friday is not a public holiday and South Africans celebrate it by shopping great deals in what has become the craziest shopping event of the year. Black Friday has since gained popularity with more retailers participating and has become one of the most anticipated events or shopping phenomenon in the South African calendar. Shoppers queue as early as the evening of the day before Black Friday, in order to be amongst the first to shop amazing deals once the stores open their doors the morning of Black Friday. Now, more and more retailers have launched online Black Friday deals to target shoppers who avoid the in-store Black Friday craze. Each year, Black Friday is celebrated on the fourth Friday of November. This is usually after the American Thanksgiving holiday. This year’s Black Friday will take place on the 29th of November 2024. Retailers don’t just have deals and specials only on the day that Black Friday is observed, deals start very early and end a few days after Black Friday. You can look forward to monthly and weekly Black Friday specials throughout the whole of November.
The most popular discounted items bought during the Black Friday Sale are TVs, Fridges, Washing Machines, Cell phones, Groceries and Clothes.
